No one could have anticipated just how hard fans would fall for Betty Cooper on CW’s hit new show Riverdale, portrayed by the ah-mazing Lili Reinhart. Fans have fallen head first for the seemingly straight-edge character with a secret dark side. They’ve fallen just as hard for her boo, Jughead, too. Which is why fans have gotten to work theorizing about what’s to come for Betty and Jughead, AKA Bughead, while they wait desperately for season two of the series.

There’s one theory that Betty’s mom, Alice, and Jughead’s dad, F.P., had a secret romance in high school and that Alice’s long lost child (and Bughead’s half sibling) is the Southside Serpent, Joaquín. Then a deleted scene from the first season where the Coopers asked Jughead to live with them started making the rounds and fans wondered if it could still happen in season two (despite being deleted).

Well, Seventeen.com got to chat with Lili at the launch of St. Ives new Mixing Bar where you can make your own personalized lotions and face scrubs (like the Chipotle of skincare). We asked her what she thought of all the Bughead theories going around and what’s in store for the star-crossed lovers now that Jughead has joined the Southside Serpents and her answers might scare you.

Keep reading for all the deets on Bughead and for Lili’s skincare tips!

Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes, the Betty and Veronica of the breakout CW show Riverdale, are still getting used to the spotlight, but so far, they’re taking it in stride. Unlike the characters of the Archie Comics, off which the series is loosely based, their Betty and Veronica are friends — no frenemy stuff — and it’s the same with Reinhart and Mendes in real life. They have the kind of easy relationship that lets tension out of a room, and on set at their photo shoot at a roller rink in Glendale, California, they’re laughing at inside jokes and naming each other’s childhood celebrity crush (Reinhart’s was Leonardo DiCaprio) as though they’ve been friends forever. It’s clear they love being a duo, partly because it makes the adjustment to being known, from having been complete unknowns just a few months ago, a little easier to bear.

Now 20, Reinhart started self-taping auditions when she was 12 and living in Cleveland, Ohio. At 18, she moved to Los Angeles but faced a setback after five months. “I fell very hard into a deep depression,” she says. “I went home and built up my strength. When I came back out here, I was 19 and booked Riverdale shortly after.” Mendes, meanwhile, went to a performing arts high school in Miami, then studied acting at New York University. She auditioned for a year after graduating but “didn’t really get any bites.” Her first callback, at 22, came when she tried out for Riverdale.

They’re learning to navigate fame as they go, and it helps that they have old hands like Cole Sprouse, Mädchen Amick, and Skeet Ulrich (Mendes’s on-set crush, who she calls “baddy daddy”) around to give them advice. They’re already pros at fielding questions about fan theories; asked whether they’d be down to play zombies, should the series go that route as speculated, they answer coyly, “If it was a sexy zombie, I guess…” They’re hoping for veteran status in the long-term but they gave a glimpse into what it’s like to be two of the coolest new breakout stars of the moment.

With Jughead’s (Cole Sprouse) secret revealed, he is worried about how his friends will react. Meanwhile, Veronica (Camila Mendes) and Betty (Lili Reinhart) suggest throwing Polly (guest star Tiera Skovbye) a baby shower to make her feel better, but Polly is hesitant knowing how everyone feels. Marisol Nichols, Madchen Amick, Madelaine Petsch and Ashleigh Murray also star.

From a young age, Riverdale star Lili Reinhart was determined to be a working actress, even if it meant recruiting someone else to help make that dream come true. “I was 14 years old, and my mom would drive me from our home in Cleveland to New York City for auditions,” she recalls. “My mom was a trooper.”

But when your kid is getting booked on shows like Law & Order: SVU (“My first TV role!”), you know it’s not a fluke. “I was an entertainer since I was born,” the 20-year-old remembers. “I would come up with these dances for my family and perform plays and make videos by myself with our home video camera. My parents just had faith in me, and thank God they did. They weren’t stage parents in the slightest. I’m just lucky they believed in me enough to help me pursue. I couldn’t have done it without them.”

Reinhart’s parents also supported their daughter when she went through a difficult time and sought professional help. “It came to a point where I told my parents I wanted to see a therapist and a psychiatrist and see if there was medication I could [go on],” she tells us. “I was very proactive. It makes me feel stronger to be able to say that I was able to seek help when I knew that I needed it and not just suffer in silence.”

It’s those qualities that make Reinhart proud to play Betty Cooper on the CW series—which was recently renewed for a second season: “She’s a passionate, strong woman who loves her family and friends, but she is also battling her demons, which I think is beautiful to watch.” Something else that’s pretty empowering? Watching Reinhart navigate her newfound fame and using her platform to speak up about mental health. Read on for more. (But warning: There are spoilers ahead if you aren’t caught up on Riverdale.)
